    That Eagle Signal logo is so nice.

    Also I crave frozen orange juice (not really the song itself as much as frozen orange juice)

    ^^ Hey, I love the Eagle Signal logo too!

    For some reason this strikes me as almost being a video-game like enivornment.

    Everything's just placed randomly...there's a grocery store to your left (we're facing the back of it), then this public street just dead-ends at a gate and turns into the yard of some industrial place.

    Reminds me of a Rockstar game for some reason.

    I want to go there.

    Also why does your mom get upset a lot?

    what i want

    i want to be the kind of person who writes daily and maintains massive projects or who draws well or composes music or who understands kant and hegel and reads zizek and deleuze for fun or can do calculus or program computers or can read massive long novels like war and peace without losing patience or has a near encylopedic knowledge of even one technology or genre of music or aspect of design or some other thing about the world that people actually care about, that's in some way useful or transferable or at least makes for interesting conversation and i want to be there for people and never disappoint them

    i want like a do-over, i want to be a teenager again, i want to mature with everyone else

    i want to express opinions like this without making posts like this
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I want to be a good designer

    I want to draw more often

    Sometimes I want to try out investing too

    And less realistically I wish ABC Inc were real though I'd probably have stressquit the CEO job within 24 hours of the company's inception anyway

  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    You do?

    Honestly I continue with it mostly out of some compulsion, this visceral need for its existence

    oh god i sound like i'm crazy
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    Obsessing over things doesn't make you crazy.

    You don't seem crazy.
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I don't obsess enough, or I obsess too much.

    ABC Inc doesn't have financial data like a real public company, it doesn't focus enough on international growth, and I fear that it neglects KMGH-TV, the ABC station in my fucking hometown

    It is not a ratings juggernaut, and it's kind of impresent in the community. It never really sponsors local events, though weatherman Mike Nelson does visit schools...he seems to be their most prominent personality (he was poached from longtime market leader KUSA in 2004, a coup they still seem very proud of), not to mention that its presence in local sports is lacking. Perhaps owing to ABC's recent lack of NFL games it didn't seem to make a grab for being the "official station" of the Broncos when the rights went from KCNC back to KUSA in 2011 (though all this really amounts to are some studio shows and preseason games anyway)

    Blah
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    I don't get how anyone can watch KUSA

    The "big happy family" feeling is so insincere to me

    It once got to the point where I edged up their newscasts in some fanfic thingy where they switched from NBC to Fox

    Did I scare everyone off with my rambling?

    You're too cute to be scary. :3
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Thanks...
  • imagei will watch the heck outta this pumpkin patch
    you didn't scare me

    i was just sleepy so i lay down for a bit

    unfortunately i know too little about tv to express a strong opinion here
  • “I'm surprised. Those clothes… but, aren't you…?”
    I wish that I could apply the knowledge and skills that I have in some meaningful way, preferably one that would satisfy my long-standing and patently delusional ambitions.

    *hugs Anonus* ^_^ Welcome.

    Let's see, if I was making a "what I want" post...

    I want to be the kind of person who creates something she can be proud to put her name on.

    I want to be the kind of person whom my relatives will talk to their friends about, like, "hey, did you know my aunt designed [x]?" and the friend'll be all "oh, that's cool" and even if they don't really mean "that's cool" it's still neat that the nephew thought it was worth mentioning to begin with, you know?

    I want to be someone who makes it clear that, while I'm forced to live and function in American society, I reject a good number of the values and ideals the population at large holds dear.

    Alternatively, I want to not be American, though realistically I recognize that no country is going to be perfect for me.

    I want to be someone confused young people can look to and say "well, she was fucked up at my age too, and she turned out fine. Maybe there's hope for me!"

    I want a second chance to go back and be the little girl I never got to be.

    I also want to be the kind of person who can take a list like this and turn into rap lyrics.

    This is... a really great list. I can seriously respect all of these aspirations.
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    Apparently¸ my brother once sent me an email that was nothing but "alt.sex.wascomat" over and over again. 

    For what it's worth, a "wascomat" is an industrial clothes washer...

    As I mentioned earlier today (although I admit, not here), the issue here is that this piece was approved by a major British newspaper (and notably, one of our more liberal ones), and since trans issues aren't covered under the PCC's discrimination clause (Clause 12), it can't even be reported.

  • suzanne moore is an okay writer who i think made an (admittedly tasteless) line, some people on twitter criticised her reasonably, others went typical internet social justice mode and massively overreacted, moore in turn overreacted as well... bleh. its a cycle of people acting terribly and moore should just go 'okay it was a tasteless line' or something (the article Cream posted above all but does that, really). everyone needs to calm the fuck down.

    what the issue did NOT need was Julie Birchall, who is a really fucking bad writer and all round shit human being, wading in to spew a load of horrible bullshit and THEN for the observer to act okay about it (The Observer, not the Guardian - guardian people from what ive seen actually dont like the article)

    tl;dr Suzanne Moore is acting dumb, people on twitter act dumb, people on the internet act dumb, but Julie Birchall is The Worst Person.

    As I also mentioned, you do not get to conflate your stuff when it suits you, including operating on the same site, and then draw a line when it gets you into trouble. You can't have your cake and eat it too.

    i wonder if the Guardian people have any kind of a say in what the Observer can/cant post on their website that has their name on it - if they do then somebody clearly greenlighted this, but if not, then that is pretty terrible practice... though this is the grauniad so terrible practice would not be overly surprising.

    really someone should have gone 'hold the fuck up what is this pile of shit' at some point. at least. ideally they should have chucked julie burchall out on her ass. hopefully this blows up in her face enough that they do.
